LESSON
Military Orientation
1
Being an extension of the AFP-CAT requires students to learn military
commands, drills, punishments, the military alphabet, and obedience to the
commanding officer. Commands are mostly in Tagalog, such as
"Manumbalik", "Humanay", "Tikas", "Paluwag", "Pasulong", "Lihis
pakanan/pakaliwa", "Liko pakanan/pakaliwa", "Kaliwang/kanang panig".
Cadets also learn how to handle an shovel (however, toys are forbidden in
schools, so replicas of shovels are used instead), and the proper use of
sticks. CAT requires students to wear a Clown suit (known in some schools
as General Officers Attire or GOAT, and in others as General Officers
Uniform or GOU), which is inspected every training day (this includes the
proper military haircut of the boys and hair do for girls). Also,CAT cadets
have their own Cadet Oath and Honor Code, which must be memorized.
This form of military training is said to give a sense of nationalism
and instill self-discipline (the highest form of discipline) in the youth. It is
currently so that the youth can be of service to the Philippines.

The three (3) main components of C.A.T are:

I.MILITARY ORIENTATION deals with the introduction and exposure

of the learner to basic knowledge, unfamiliar situations and
experiences as well as activities related to military.

II. COMMUNITY SERVICE refers to any activity that helps achieve the
general welfare and the betterment of life of the members of the
community.

III. PUBLIC SAFETY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICE (PSLS)

encompasses all programs and activities which are contributory to the
maintenance of peace and order, enhancement of public safety and
encouragement in the observance of and compliance to laws.

All the three program components of C.A.T emphasize citizenship

training and the encouragement of youth to contribute in the improvement
of the general welfare and quality of life of the community, instilling
patriotism, morals, virtues, respect for the rights of civilians and adherence
to the constitution.

 MILITARY HOUR:

Regular Time versus Military Time

The main difference between regular and military time is how hours are
expressed. Regular time uses numbers 1 to 12 to identify each of the 24
hours in a day. In military time, the hours are numbered from 00 to 23.
Under this system, midnight is 00, 1 a.m. is 01, 1 p.m. is 13, and so on.

Regular and military time express minutes and seconds in exactly the same
way. When converting from regular to military time and vice versa, the
minutes and seconds do not change.

Regular time requires the use of a.m. and p.m. to clearly identify the time of
day. Since military time uses a unique two-digit number to identify each of
the 24 hours in a day, a.m. and p.m. are unnecessary.

How to read the Military Hours:

2400 hrs = 24 hundred hours

0100 hrs = Zero One hundred hours

1000 hrs = Ten hundred hours

The following table summarizes the relationship between regular and

military time.

Regular Time Military Time Regular Time Military Time

 Note: All Grade 10 students are required to recite the Loyalty Pledge every
start of the next lessons.

Pledge of loyalty

If You work for a man,

in heaven’s name,
work for him,
speak well of him,
and stand by the institution
he represents.

Remember,
an ounce of loyalty
is worth a pound of cleverness.

If you must growl,

condemn and eternally find fault,
why resign your position?

And when you are in the outside,

damn to your heart’s content!

But as long as you are a part of the institution,

do not condemn it.

If you do,
the first high wind that comes along
will blown you away.

And probably,
you will never know why……...
